Considering the great memories Cherry Heering brought back of family simchas as I and later my kids were growing up, considering I discovered it on a kiddush on my very first Shabbat on these American shores, I hust had to incorporate it into the Rosh Hashana meals.

SYR, obliged with two delightful dessert recipes and here they are:
